Let’s talk about what just happened: Our LLM Bot Tracker plugin crossed 500 downloads in the WordPress repository.
But this isn’t about us patting ourselves on the back. This is about 500+ WordPress site owners who stopped flying blind while AI crawlers feast on their content.
The Problem Nobody Was Talking About
Here’s the reality check most WordPress site owners are missing: While you’re obsessing over Google Analytics, ChatGPT is crawling your site 500+ times daily. Perplexity is cherry-picking your best content. Claude is analyzing your documentation.
And you had zero visibility into any of it.
Traditional analytics tools? Useless. They can’t tell a GPTBot from a Googlebot. They’re built for a world where humans clicked links, not where AI systems scan millions of pages to train their models.
We built LLM Bot Tracker because watching AI activity shouldn’t require a computer science degree or enterprise-level tools. It should be as simple as installing a WordPress plugin.
What 500 Downloads Really Means
Every download represents a site owner who gets it. They understand that AI-powered search isn’t coming – it’s already here, eating their lunch while they’re still fighting for position three on Google.
Our users are discovering game-changing insights:
- Tech blogs seeing 10x more AI traffic than human visitors
- E-commerce sites finding which products AI systems recommend most
- Documentation sites learning which pages train the next generation of AI models
- News publishers tracking which stories become AI’s source of truth
These aren’t vanity metrics. This is intelligence that shapes strategy.

And we’re adding more every month. If it’s crawling for AI, we’re tracking it. No guesswork. No blind spots.
Visualizations That Actually Drive Decisions Forget meaningless dashboards. Our charts show you exactly which AI systems care about your content and when. Real-time feeds. 30-day trends. Top bot leaderboards. Data you can actually use.
Zero Performance Impact We built this lean. Your site won’t slow down. Your server won’t break a sweat. Just pure visibility without the bloat.
100% Privacy Focused We only track bots, never humans. All data stays in your WordPress database. No third-party services. No privacy headaches. GDPR compliant out of the box.
The Brutal Truth About AI Optimization
Most WordPress sites are invisible to AI systems. Not because their content isn’t good – but because they have no idea what AI wants.
LLM Bot Tracker users are different. They see:
- Which content AI systems prioritize
- When AI traffic spikes (and why)
- What pages become training data
- How to optimize for AI visibility
This isn’t theoretical. One client discovered ChatGPT was ignoring their homepage but obsessing over a random FAQ page. They restructured their content strategy and saw AI citations jump 300% in 60 days.
What’s Next: The LLMO Revolution
SEO is changing . LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization) is the future. And tracking AI bots is step one.
Our roadmap isn’t wishful thinking – it’s what our users are demanding:
- Detection for every new AI system that launches
- Export capabilities for deep analysis
- Integration with SEO tools (because you need both, for now)
- Predictive analytics on AI behavior patterns
Bottom Line
500 downloads means 500 WordPress sites that aren’t waiting for the AI revolution – they’re already adapting to it.
If you’re still relying on Google Analytics to understand your site’s performance, you’re missing half the picture. Maybe more.
Ready to see what AI really thinks about your content?
Zero cost. Zero contracts. Just instant AI visibility.

You were right. They were wrong. And now everyone’s catching up.
